The Fire Mountain world.
Everyone was dead.
A figure that blotted out the sun descended from above, turning into a man with two horns on his head.
Colorful lights and shadows surrounded him and escaped from his body, manifesting into countless Professionals who were wailing in pain and flying away in all directions.
"Ah? There are so many souls that know how to escape? Trying to escape in front of me, how arrogant, how self-righteous! "
The Abyssal Magic Dragon's eyes displayed a frigid glint.
He opened his mouth and inhaled, sucking all the light in the world into his stomach.
The world returned to darkness.
Boom — — — —
A volcano began to erupt, revealing the true nature of this world.
Magic Dragon silently stood still.
12 streaks of light descended from above, kneeling on one knee in front of the Abyssal Magic Dragon.
The leading Divinity reported: "Master, did you summon us?"
Magic Dragon didn't answer.
He closed his eyes and appeared satisfied.
The 12 Divinities didn't dare to move.
It wasn't until a long while later that Magic Dragon muttered: "1,967,324 souls, what a marvelous feast"
Suddenly, his voice became furious. His roar reached all the way to the sky, even the earth itself was trembling.
"Gu — — Qing — — Shan, why aren't you here!!!"
…
At another location.
The Seaside World.
A hotel.
Hearing Meow's voice, Gu Qing Shan immediately replied: "It's me, Meow, it's Gu Qing Shan!"
He heard Meow talking to someone else from the other side, faintly hearing the words' Gu Qing Shan '.
A few moments later, Meow's voice came again: "Thank the heavens, it really is you, are you alright?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I'm fine, what about the rest of you?"
Meow replied: "A year ago, your world had finished fusing and stopped shaking. At that time, we reconnected to the outside world, only to find that the Strife Zones had disappeared!"
Gu Qing Shan sighed and replied: "That's right, that was the work of the Divine race — — how are you now?"
"It's not good. Many of them are injured. We've brought them into your world and hidden them. The outside world is becoming more and more chaotic, so we can only hide here for now." Meow said.
"Hmm? What happened? "Gu Qing Shan became alert.
"We've found out that the monster that destroyed the Spire and the 900 million World Layers alliance actually came from the Eternal Abyss, called the Soul Shrieker"
"What happened to it?"
"It is becoming more and more powerful — — the Fallen Zones that the [Demon King Order] occupied were almost completely destroyed by it"
"Did it destroy Order?"
"No, the [Order] is fighting against it while controlling the demonized to plunder the population"
At this point, Meow came back to her senses. "Let's not talk about this for now. Where are you now? I'll go get you. "
"Can you come here?" Gu Qing Shan answered hesitantly: "This place of mine is very secluded, around the edge of the Strife Zones, close to the Eternal Abyss"
"Why are you so far away!?" Meow exclaimed in shock.
"Something happened, so I'm going to stay here" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to get through — — - we're separated by the entire Fallen Zones, as well as the entire Strife Zones" Meow replied.
"Is there no other way?" Gu Qing Shan didn't give up and asked again.
"The Strife Zones are still invisible, I've lost all the warp points in that area, and you're on the other side of the Strife Zones, so I can't get through" Meow patiently explained.
She then recalled something and hurriedly asked: "Right, do you still have the Club's Void String? You can use it to teleport back to the Club, that way I'll be able to get you from the Club "
"That, I've already used it" Gu Qing Shan sighed.
Before she went to the Age of Old, Gu Qing Shan once used the Void String to help her escape from Xie Dao Ling's [Questioning Murder].
— — -at the moment, even the last option isn't going to work, so I won't be able to meet up with Bali and Meow for now.
Gu Qing Shan said: "Listen, Meow, what I'm about to say is very important, you have to listen very carefully"
"Got it!"
Gu Qing Shan told her about the Magic Dragon, as well as the possible changes to the Eternal Abyss.
"A parallel world that's fighting against the Apocalypse …" Meow blankly muttered.
"That's right, you need to prepare yourself, it's best if you hide first" Gu Qing Shan said.
Whether it was the Soul Shrieker or the Abyss that was sweeping towards them, neither of them were things that Meow's group could deal with.
— — -of course, Gu Qing Shan couldn't deal with them either.
Although he couldn't even activate the Coin of the Earth right now and could only hide it inside his body, he was still the master of the Saint Pillar, and he would one day grow stronger.
Meow replied: "We're hiding in a Scattered world, so we'll be fine for now, but you need to be careful"
Gu Qing Shan went silent briefly, then asked: "If I pass through the Strife Zones and reach the Fallen Zones, can you find my location?"
"Of course I can!" Meow confirmed it.
After chatting for a bit longer, the two of them temporarily disconnected.
While Gu Qing Shan and Meow were talking, Lin had remained silent and finally spoke up: "Seems like your friends won't be able to make it"
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan sighed, "that's troublesome"
Something in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
Gu Qing Shan took it out to see that it was the Hitman badge.
He pressed a button on it.
The girl's sobbing voice came: "Ye Fei Li? Is that you? "
"Ah, it's me, what's the matter?" Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
"Everyone's dead"
"What!?"
"Sob sob sob, the Fire Mountain world suddenly collapsed, no one managed to escape"
While sobbing, the girl explained the situation in detail.
It was now that Gu Qing Shan found out that it wasn't just the people of the Hitman Guild, all the other organizations and even the 7 Holy Churches who went to the Fire Mountain world disappeared along with the world's destruction.
The girl continued: "Ye Fei Li, as soon as our Guild's HQ found out about the situation, we've already arranged for people to come here as soon as possible. But before our experts arrive, a lot of the Guild's secret information and wealth stored in this world needs to be guarded, so HQ has entrusted you to be the guardian"
"Me? I'm only an intermediate-level Hitman "
"In the several thousand worlds around here, most of the experts from other organizations are already dead. Although you're only an intermediate-level Hitman right now, you're definitely the strongest of them all"
The girl's tone became more serious: "This is a special emergency mission, you must come"
"… Alright, wait a bit, I'll be right there" Gu Qing Shan replied.
After ending the call, Gu Qing Shan turned to Lin.
"I knew it was a trap, but I didn't think it would eat everyone, that's a bit too much" Gu Qing Shan scowled.
Lin crossed her arms and said indifferently: "What's wrong with that? You should be glad that it wasn't the Soul Shrieker or my Abyssal form"
"What would happen if it was you?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Lin replied: "If the Soul Shrieker hadn't gone insane, it would have wiped out every world around it. As for me — — my Abyssal form would be able to directly sense your thoughts, so I wouldn't need to kill any unnecessary people to find the real you"
Gu Qing Shan felt a chill and asked:
"How are you recovering now?"
Lin calmly replied: "My body is constantly recovering, and my martial arts skills are also slowly returning to normal. However, without the Ring of Vow, I can't use my Abyssal form, so all my abilities outside of martial arts have temporarily been lost"
As Gu Qing Shan was about to say something, he felt a vibration coming from his pocket again.
He took out the Hitman badge again.
The girl's panicked voice came from inside: "Ye Fei Li, hurry and come to the Hitman Guild, I have a special escape device here, we need to leave this world right away"
Gu Qing Shan felt tense and hurriedly asked: "What happened?"
"The Fire Mountain world has been destroyed, and the other worlds around it are also being destroyed, it'll probably reach us very soon!" the girl replied.
"Alright, I'll be right there" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He turned off the badge.
Lin stood up from her chair and smiled: "It's probably mad that it couldn't catch you"
Gu Qing Shan was annoyed: "It's really annoying to be chased around by it all the time"
"Of course, the Abyssal Magic Dragon has the entire Strife Zones under its control, if it wants to find us, it would have to use countless resources and manpower to do so, we can only run away" Lin replied.
"The Abyssal Apocalypse is about to erupt, yet it's still causing trouble at a time like this, not only is it hindering my cultivation, it's also affecting your recovery"
Gu Qing Shan said impatiently.
"How regretful, we can't change this" Lin agreed.
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
"We can't go on like this …" he muttered.
"Do you have any ideas? Or rather, is there a place where we can completely avoid its pursuit? "Lin asked.
Standing in front of her, Gu Qing Shan's gaze slowly turned sharp.
"What a mess … and it's still relentlessly chasing us, seems like we need to talk to it"
"Talk to it?" Lin wondered if she had heard it wrong.
"That's right, we have a lot of things to do, so it's time to teach it a lesson and make it behave"
Gu Qing Shan casually said.
